Benghazi-gate: The Benghazi Report Is "Incomplete"

According to a press release, three Congressional leaders sent a
letter on Monday night to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton,
seeking documents related to the ARB report on the failures that led to
the attack that resulted in the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens and
three other Americans.

"Unfortunately, the ARB did not address some important questions
about the attacks in Benghazi, which we believe may contain crucial
lessons learned for other U.S. facilities abroad to follow,” the letter
states, citing the board’s failure to interview the Secretary and key
deputies, a lack of explanation for Under Secretary Patrick F. Kennedy’s
apparent decision to withdraw the Security Support Team from Libya
despite warnings from the late Ambassador Stevens and the decision to
maintain an isolated outpost in Benghazi even with evidence of
increasing violence in the area.

The letter
is signed by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce, (R-CA),
House Oversight and Government Reform Darrell Issa (R-CA), and House
Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security
Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT).
The chairmen are requesting all e-mails, cables, and memoranda received
by the Secretary and her deputies related to security in Benghazi,
documents reviewed by the ARB, and video of the September 11, 2012
attack on the Benghazi compound.

Hillary Clinton may injure herself on the paper shredder before these documents can be delivered.
